Warwick

the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun

Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. He bursts from the shadows to prey upon those criminals who terrorize the city's depths. Warwick is drawn to blood, driven mad by its scent… and none who spill it can escape him.

Origin & Background

The Story of Warwick

Warwick was a man with a violent history who decided, at some point, to try to be something other than violent — to protect rather than harm, to use the skills his past had given him for something that wasn't just self-interest or someone else's profit. Then Singed found him, and what Singed did to him erased the man and left the monster. The transformation was total, deliberate, and agonizing.

What Singed created was designed to be a weapon: a creature with a wolf's hunting instincts, chemtech-enhanced strength and speed, and a nose for blood that can track quarry across an entire city. The experiments that produced this also destroyed most of Warwick's memories. He knows he was someone. He doesn't know who. Fragments surface — a name, a face, a sense of having done something terrible and then tried to stop — but they won't resolve into a coherent past.

He hunts through Zaun now, guided by instinct rather than plan, and what he hunts are the predators of the undercity — the criminals who prey on the weak, the suppliers of the chemtech that destroys communities, the powerful who exploit the powerless. He doesn't know why he hunts these specific things rather than others. The fragments that haven't resolved into memories have still shaped what he responds to. The man he used to be is choosing his targets through the monster he became.

Both operate in Zaun's undercity with something like protective intent. Their methods and natures make the overlap complicated.
